Irrational Games have announced the third game of the Bioshock franchise, “Bioshock Infinite”, to be released sometime in 2012.
Bioshock 2 was fantastic, but some argued it felt too similar to the first game in many respects. Those people won’t have anything to complain about this time as Infinite has swapped the seas for the skies and Rapture for a new city called Columbia, which floats above the earth thanks to some nifty looking steampunk-ish devices. The game is set in 1912 which is before the first two but Ken Levine, who will again be involved, doesn’t want it to be seen as a prequel.
Watch the trailer above and feel free to start getting excited, two years isn’t that long.

OH YES. Now please let it be longer than BioShock II because that was depressing. Or, perhaps I’ll be in med school by then, so shorter would be better? Either way, BIOSHOCK.
